Looks like they want to play it safe in case they are in the Bedard odds, as you can jump up 10 spots in the draft. So if they draft 10th they might waive, over concern of there unprotected 2024 pick. Wonder how much notice they have to give on whether they’re waiving. Like I’m assuming they can’t wait to see who’s there at 10 and then pass it to the Canucks? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do people think the Isles are going be bottom 5 next year? It's like when Colorado gained all of them assets in a trade for Duchene, and with all of their powerhouse picks, including McKinnon, they had a down year and didn't recover until last year.

It was speculation but listening to Friedman it sounds like there is some minor concern there of that 2024 pick being unprotected. Sounds like they just want to make sure they don’t jump up 10 or 11 spots for Bedard (Don’t know if the new rules is 10 or 11) in the draft that’s all. So two top 12 picks this year is still a real potential. Edited February 1, 2023 by J-23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but they can waive that apparently. They can still give us the the pick this year regardless of where it is. Obviously they wouldn’t waive a protected pick in the top 10. But if it ends up being an 11 or 12 pick it can come our way if the Isles want to. And if they’re concerned about that 2024 pick being unprotected. New draft odds where teams can jump up 10 spots has teams concerned? I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are saying we might get a better pick than the protected 12. Islanders just didn’t want to give us a lottery win and have to take in consideration that next year could yield a better draft pick for us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very realistic and would do WONDERS for our pool. Add in maybe some more 2nds via other trades.. Hell we could look at our 2nd like a late first as a "wise" man once said.

SilentSam Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Kenny Powers said: Here’s a report on Raty from a piece last year on NYI top prospects. The ‘ready to learn’ and ‘student of the game’ attributes are very promising. Love that we’re starting him in the A. Imagine what he can learn from Henrik as he develops chemistry with Hoglander and Podkolzin, building confidence without pressure / media spotlight… Aatu Räty Aatu Räty leads the prospect pool. The second-round pick from 2021 had a wildly impressive season in Finland. The young center finished in the top 20 for scoring in the Finnish league and lead the line offensively for Jukurit who finished second in the regular season. He's already made his debut in the AHL. He's played two games and showed us some of his high-end skills already. He's still got things to learn but this kid is an absolute student of the game. His Jukurit coach, former Islanders player Olli Jokinen, spoke specifically about how Räty always came to the rink ready to learn. Räty may have fallen far at the 2021 draft, but he was once considered a possible no.1 pick for a reason. He's got a ton of talent. And at 19-years-old he's already ready to play a North American game. The 2022 season could very well show us he's much closer to the NHL than we think. Kenny , I may have mentioned this before , but I think he will become our best Centerman at that position. I think he will become better at it than Bo was , in a shorter period of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
